Diversify Depending where or the style of your practice, your patient base may be heavily weighted in one direction, for instance, heavily personal injury or insurance based from one source. The winds of change breeze by everyone and it could hit you someday. Rather than depending on one area of marketing or sitting idly by while the goings good, it would behoove you to diversify your marketing or add more fuel to the fire of new patients. You probably know of some chiropractors that were doing quite well with personal injury until the insurance companies decided to pay less and/or limit coverage. In some states laws were changed to make the PI practice less lucrative. Same for doctors that depended on one companyıs employee base for patients. I knew of one doctor that heavily depended on one electrical plant for new patients. It was great for awhile until they downsized and eventually closed down. These stories happen to those that are not prepared or are lazy with new patient activity. It is always best to diversify and spread the message of chiropractic in various directions. You need to survey your community and canvas the demographics to capture the best avenue to take. Professional and corporate alliances keep the flow steady. Community workshops bring you to the people, as will screenings. Diversity includes insurance and cash patients, medicare aged and youngsters, sports venues and assisted livings facilities the list is endless. To absorb the shock of practice downsizing, it would be best to upsize your activity and begin to process of diversifying your patient base.

Reply to: bassfamilychiro@yahoo.com DC needs Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) Home Study Program/Seminar: Most recent edition preferred, older editions will be considered. Reply to: jfmdc1970@yahoo.com DC needs advice about a pediatric case: A 5 year old daughter of my MT has had 3 incidences of passing out for 15 -30 seconds over the past 6 months. This has happened each time she was getting her hair brushed, it was neither forceful or was the child resisting. Her mother states that in health records that she was experiencing a running nose with a cough at each of these times. Upon waking the child would experience either diarrhea or vometing. She states that the child has mentioned that her body, especially her stomach region was hurting prior to passing out and also that her left arm was hurting. Her grandmother found something on the internet talking about an autonomic response to hair grooming but not much was revealed. Also the childs doctor is thinking S.V.T. super ventricular tachycardia as her mother also experienced 5 episodes of this same event between the ages 17 and 28 but she was never diagnosed with this or tested for it. The doctor has recommended a heart rate monitor to be worn to test for SVT but it will only be conclusive when the event happens. They have prescribed blood work, EKG and are trying to decide other tests. I feel that all that she has told me which I have described here should send a Flag up to someone who should be able to better asses this than just to subject her to a plethora of random tests which may or may not determine anything. And yes I have adjusted the child, C1L, C6R and T6 she has seen me three times and this was her first adjustments. Her mother never mentioned this yet but this just happened again this past weekend.
